Great gobs of gloom, hovered over
the high school campus today as
students discussed the loss of Francis
Rhea, Bemidji's speedy end and
triple threat. Rhea broke the sec.
onfl -finger of his left- hand in prac
tice' Wednesday afternoon. It was
first thought that the injury would
not prove serious enough to keeq
the Bemidji .star out of the battle,
but an x-ray examination last night
revealed a fracture, and consequent
ly the navy blue and white eleven
will be forced to meet the strong
Hibbing high school team in a
weakened condition. That the game
tomorrow afternoon with the range
eleven will be a hard fought contest
is a foregone conclusion. Coach
Vance of the ore diggers will start
iliis strongest combination and is de
termined to return to "the richest
village in the world" with a victory.

HOLD MEETING TONIGHT
TO TALK CANCER WEEK
All Intereated Persons Are
Urged to Attend Meeting
To Plan Prevention
All doctors, dentists, educators,
presidents of all local clubs, life in
surance agents, and all other inter
ested persons are urged to attend
a meeting to be held this evening
at o'clock in the rooms of the Civic
and Commerce association to make
plans for the observance of National
Cancer Week, November 12 to 18-
It is especially important that
there be a large attendance and all
interested persons will be welcomed.
Cancer caused death in more adults
than any other disease, the death rate
from this disease in the past two
years in the state of Minnesota sur
passing that ^from tuberculosis. In
Minnesota 2,193 people died from
cancer in 1921.
As yet, the cause of this malady
is unknown. In an effort to combat
its increasing death rate the Amer
ican Society for the Control of Can
cer is conducting an extensive edu
cational campaign, that the early
signs and symptoms of cancer may
be familiar to all.
Cancer always begins with a small
local growth, and is usually painless
in the beginning- It can often be
removed by competent surgical treat
ment, or in certain external forms,
by the use of radium, X-ray and other
methods.
If the early warning signs are not
{heeded, the disease progresses and
with extension io other parts is in
curable- Competent medical advice
should be sought on the appearance
of any of the warning signs- There
is no sure cure for all cancers in any
stage. Neither is there a serum or
any remedy that will cure cancer
by being injected into the veins of
rubbed on the skin.

TO CONSIDER FORMING
DAIRY COUNCIL HERE
Guernsey Club ia Intereated
In Meeting to be Held
Wednesday, Nov. 15
On Dec. 10, 1921 a small group
of men met in Bemidji and organ
ized the Beltrami County Guernsey
Breeders association- While many
of these men were principally inter
ested in Guernseys, their larger hopes
were for better dairy cattle of any
breed for this locality.
The purpose of this organization,
as shown by the constitution, is as
follows: "to promote the breeding
and improvement* of high grade and
pure-bred Guernsey cattle in Bel
trami county, and to aid its members
in buying, breeding! and selling first
class animals, also the establishment
good reputation for Beltrami
telligence regarding the value of
better bred, better fed, and disease
free livestock."
At the second annual meeting held
November 1, 1922, the membership
ha'd grown to thirty-five. All mem
bers are requested to send $1 to
the secretary, B. M. Gile, Bemidji,
to pay the dues for the current year
as the association will make good
use of the money-
It is realized that in union there
is strength and much strength is
needed to solve the livestock prob
lem for Beltram and northern Hub
bard county. The association be
lieves that a program covering at
least fives years effort to put the
dairy industry7
i-
of a good reputation for Beltram i Kellogg in the county, the vote for
county as a Guernsey center, and
on a sanitary and
paying basis should be undertaken
at this time. Accordingly, a meet
ing of the Agricultural Committee of
the Commercial club and all inter
ested in forming a dairy council will
be held following the noon-day meet
ing of the Civic and Commerce as
sociation. All interested are urged
to be present.

NEW CONGRESS FAVORS
SOLDIER BONUS BILL
Washington, Nov. 10, (By Law
rence Benedict, copyrighted 1922 by
the U. P-)The new congress will
over-ride the President's veto of the
Soldier Bonus Bill, thus insuring its
passage, it was revealed today by a
comprehensive tabulation in the sen
ate following the election Tuesday.
A careful poll of the senate which
will convene next March 4th, based
on both the old senators in the pres
ent congress and the pledges made
by new members during the cam
paign, show that 67 senators are in
favor of adjusted compensation, 27
are against it and the position of 2
is unknown.
A total of 67 votes for the bonus
is three more than two-thirds of the
senate, the number required to over
ride the veto.
The house, which over-rode Pres
ident Harding's veto of the measure
last 'September shortly before the
senate blockaded the measure by
sustaining th executive's objection,
i* still overwhelming in favor of the
bill.

Frazier and Shipstead are
Admittedly Strongest in
League Today
MUCH THE SAME TYPE
AS SENATOR E. F. LADD
Are Expected to Work for
Legislation Affecting
Farm and Labor
tBy United Press)
(By D. D. Meredith)
St- Paul, Nov. 10Finding seats
for the northwest contingent to con
gress will not be difficult. There are
pretty apt to align themselves with
the democrats- Lynn J. Frazier and
Br Henrik Shipstead, elected to the
senate from North Dakota and Minn
esota, are admittedly the strongest
men in the Nonpartisan league today
but neither is radical.
They are very much the same type
of Nonpartisans as Senator E. F.
Ladd of Fargo, elected two years
ago. They are all former represent
atives. Frazier is the only dirt farm
er of the trio. Senator. Ladd, up to
ithe time of his election, was an ag
riculturist at the North Dakota Farm
school at Fargo. Dr. Shipstead, a
dentist, was elected to the Minnesota
legislatm-e from Glenwood, and
served two terms.
The only confessed radical of the
Nonpartisan line-up is Knute Wefald
He succeeds Halvor Steenerson to
congress from the Seventh district
Wefald is an out-and-out socialist
and proud of it- His election was a
much bigger surprise in Minnesota
than the defeat of Prank B. Kellogg
by Dr. Shipstead-
The Nonpartisan League program
has never included a congressional
seat as the Nonpartisan leaders al
ways held their program should be
carried out through state legislation
and not through congress. Neither
Nonpartisan senators nor congress
men are expected to carry their pro
gram to the floor of the house or
senate, but they will work for farm
and labor legislation.
DANGER! PICRIC ACID
TO BE USED WITH CARE
Land Clearing Manager Edson
Washburn cautions users of picric
acid. Although picric is a very good
good explosive, cheap and good to
use, it has one danger whion all ought
to know, he declares. Picric acid
should never be used in any place
of confinement, cellars wells, pits, or
in any place where heavy gasses may
collect. When exploded picric acid
gives off about 70 per cent carbon
monoxide gas, which is about four
times as much as the average human
being can stand.

LONDON TODAY CUT OFF

London, Nov. 10London was cut

unchecked today, with the foreign
office lacking official advices, power
less to deny them. The cabinet was
called together at 10:00 to consider
the situation.
What the Turks are driving at in

Angora government demands nulifi

the fate of the Turkish army in the

World War. But moie and greater
than thatit is the day of the begin

to be celebrated in no uncertain
fashion as a day of hope and high
ambition. We have Memorial Day
for the hero dead, for a backward
thought of the greatness of the days
gone by. Let Armistice Day be a
day for the living, for looking for
ward upon high adventures and
achievements yet to com*.
"In this America of ours, espec
ially, the Day of the Beginning of
Peace is, a day of exaltation of the
spirit for wc are a nation of build
ers and the works of peace are the
glory of a free people. With the
coming of peace there is- an end of
destruction and tearing down. And
with the coming of a just peace the
march of mankind is taken up again,
mankind going forward step by step
to higher resolve. Let us then be
glad and proud in this resolve, that
every observance of the Armistice
shall serve as a milestone along the
upward road of peaceful progress.
"Yet on this fateful eleventh day
ol the eleventh month it should be
well, that on the stroke of the elev
enth hour one solemn moment be
set aside for prayer and a silent
giving of thanks. I have the honor
of speaking for a great organization
of American citizen-, whose faith
America has been proved throjg
hard endurances men who have
corne through strugKie in war to a
clear conception of the spiritual
glory to the service of America. In
the spirit of these men let us say:

A iiu Teachers Council of the Na

"This is an alarm bell, warning the
women teachers oi the Nation to

won in our public school system as
a result ot patient and sell-sacrific

leau of? Education reports tnat in
1920 (the latest figures available)
